The Ecosystem/Partnerships arc argues value has moved from what you own to relationships you orchestrate with actors you don't control — and the winners cultivate rather than control that value. Family firms convert accounts into 'extended family' ([[concept-f2f-strategy]], [[concept-familiness]]); acquirers orchestrate [[concept-complementors]] rather than internalize assets ([[concept-ecosystem-synergies]], [[cd-value-from-uncontrolled-actors]]); CVCs manage a [[concept-living-organizational-interface]] rather than engineer it shut; negotiators win by *giving up* authority ([[contrarian-zero-authority]]); individuals diversify into a [[concept-portfolio-career]]. The connective idea is [[concept-relational-capital]] as an inimitable moat ([[cd-relational-turn]], [[cd-control-paradox]]) — and the recurring failure mode is *internal*, not external ([[cd-internal-failure-mode]]). This is the corpus's answer to 'where does advantage live when the model commoditizes' from the partnership angle ([[meta-moat-migration-consolidated]]). Evidence runs thin — [[cd-thin-evidence]].
